Important Safety Information
WARNING
Do not disassemble or modify the product. This may cause the product
to not operate correctly, and you may suddenly fall and be seriously
injured.
Check that there are no cracks in the crank arms before riding the
bicycle. If there are any cracks, the crank arm may break and you may
fall off the bicycle.
Be careful not to let the hemming of your clothes get caught in the
chain while riding. Otherwise, you may fall off the bicycle.
CAUTION
Be careful not to touch the teeth of chainrings. There is a danger of
injury.
Notice
Use a neutral detergent to clean the crank arm and the bottom
bracket. Using alkaline or acidic detergents may cause discoloration.
If pedaling performance does not feel normal, perform an inspection
again.
Do not wash the bottom bracket with high-pressure washer.
The gears should be periodically washed with a neutral detergent. In
addition, cleaning the chain with neutral detergent and lubricating it
can be an effective way of extending the life of the gears and the
chain.
The cuffs of your clothing may get dirty from the chain while riding.
Products are not guaranteed against natural wear and deterioration
from normal use and aging.
For maximum performance we highly recommend SHIMANO
lubricants and maintenance products.
